Intertek Provides Support to Perform Testing for Electronic Systems and Components Compliance
Intertek and their engineers have added support to perform testing at both the component/module and chip/IC levels for compliance of electronic systems and components. Product manufacturers can now ensure their electrical systems and components’ compliance with SAE, OEM, E/e-Mark, national, and international regulatory EMC standards, including pre-compliance and test plan development services. Intertek utilizes state-of-the-art CAN bus data acquisition software to monitor the interaction between the components and simulated loads, allowing Intertek to accurately predict whole vehicle compliance. Intertek is recognized as a technical service underneath the German car authority (KBA).
The list of supported tests include:
- Bulk Current Injection (BCI)
- CAN bus Device Monitoring
- Conducted Emissions (CE)
- Conducted Immunity (CI) - (ALSE/REVERB)
- Electromagnetic Field Analysis (EMAG)
- Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
- EMC/EMI Diagnostic Testing
- Radiated Emissions (RE)
- Radiated Immunity (RF) - (ALSE)
- Related Automotive EMC Services
- EMF field measurements
- ECE-R 10 testing
Automotive EMC testing is performed at strategic locations globally to support the needs of the industry, including Grand Rapids, Michigan (USA), Kaufbeuren (Germany), and Shanghai (China).
With an independent third-party testing partner, the customers can meet their business objectives for customer satisfaction to attain greater profitability. Intertek has been supporting Tier 1 and Tier 2 customers in the automotive/off-road industry for more than 50 years and can help to manage the Design Verification Plan and Report (DVP&R) process, Road Load Data Acquisition, USCAR testing, and more. By offering a unique combination of automotive testing capabilities paired with a global presence, Intertek helps to drive the customer's product to more markets, faster.
Automotive Electrical Testing
Automotive electrical testing involves any testing in which the DUT (Device Under Test) has power applied to it to verify functionality and/or performance under the test conditions. While there are a number of different test types, some of the more commonly requested electrical tests include
- Button/Switch/Power cycling
- High/Low voltage
- High/low current
- Environmental stressors such as temperature and humidity extremes
- Constant operation
These tests are conducted to evaluate how a product and its electronic components perform over the life of a product, to understand weak or failure modes, and to establish electrical performance benchmarking. Some of the most commonly used and referenced electrical testing standards include:
- Automotive: FMVSS 108
- Medical: 60601-1
- Custom testing programs based upon clients' informational goals
